UMnu Thembani Sibindi uthi la ngamazwi omuntu nje odinga ukuthakazelelwa nguzulu njengoba kukhanya engani ukhala ngelihlo elilodwa.
“Loba nje esenza izithembiso zokuthi uzenza loba yini esemandleni akhe ukuze akulungisise uyaphosisa nje. Lokhu sakubona kuSimplicuous Chihambakwe Gukurahundi Commission eyasungulwayo kodwa kayisazanga yaphenduka ukuze yazise uzulu ngalokho eyakutholayo okutsho ukuthi kakulanto azayenza uMnangagwa.”
Ongunobhala wabasakhulayo kubandla leZanu PF, uMnu. Munashe Mtutsa, uthi okwenzakala ekupheleni kokhetho kubalela indaba ezisadingisiswa njalo akuqondanga ukuthi lezizinto zikhulunywe zingakadingisiswa.
“Okunengi nje okwenzakayo mhlaka 1 yizinto nje ezenzakalayo emhlabeni wonke jikelele njalo kakusonto esingakhuluma ngayo ngoba umongameli wathembisa ukuthi lezi yizinto azazilungisisa engagcotshwa. Wathembisa ukuthi uzasungula ikhomitshini ezakudingisisa lokhu njalo zeChihambakwe Commission asikhulumeni ngayo umongameli esegcotshiwe.”
